commo rose macro? .con file trigger to left mouse

[Pilo-II]

Re: commo rose macro? .con file trigger to left mouse

I've been trying to figure this out for a long time now! I can only bring up the comand rose using my joystick, but I can't 'click' to enemy spoted.

I'm too scared to play with the files though don't want to mess anything up... cuz I really don't understand what all of that stuff you have to put in does :S... anyone wanna help me? :)


PS. ALL I want to do is: - Click - brings up command rose - Click 2 with another button clicks the ENEMY SPOTED cyrcle button in the middle of the command rose - it's all I want. I don't want to use my joystick to manuever around the command rose.

You WILL have to edit the controls.con Pilo-II... No way around it...

Ahh the command rose. What your looking to do is map keys to manuever around the command rose and select something.

Locate Controls.con file in:
\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001

Find this line in Controls.con file:

ControlMap.create defaultGameControlMap

Add these lines:
(they make numpad keys to move mouse, fire button to execute)

ControlMap.addKeysToAxisMapping c_GIMouseLookX IDFKeyboard IDKey_Numpad6 IDKey_Numpad4 1
ControlMap.addKeysToAxisMapping c_GIMouseLookY IDFKeyboard IDKey_Numpad2 IDKey_Numpad8 1
ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_GIOk IDFKeyboard IDKey_Numpad5 0 1

And make sure this line is in there as well... you probably won't have to add it though.

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_GIAltOk IDFKeyboard IDKey_Numpad0 0 1

Now, after you edit the Control.con file with those... you can bring up the commo rose with "Q" then use NUMPAD 0 to bring up the Spotted menu and NUMPAD 5 to say "Enemy Spotted"

You can also map the NUMPAD 2/8 and 4/6 to manuever around the command rose and use NUMPAD 5 to select.

Now just use your joystick software to build a macro for one button.

Spotted Macro
Q down
NUMPAD 0
NUMPAD 5

I've played with moving around the spotted menu to specifically select different things like Tank, APC, Sniper etc... but the NUMPAD 2/8 just scroll too fast on the Spotted menu. I just can't get them to go one line at a time, sometimes they will but mostly they skip.

Hope that does it for ya. Lemme know, I've helped others with this.

HERE's the posting about it on the G15mods forums.

*Sorry about the small text, it was the only way everything show up on a single line.

Check the "controls.con" file and make sure it saved your settings. It has a strong sense of self presevation hehe. I think you'll probably find bf2 has overwrote the settings with the original ones?. Happened to me a few times. Let us know.

I had the same problem a couple times. I would alter my Controls.con file only to have BF2 alter it back...

Here's what I did.

After making my changes to Controls.con I right clicked the file and selected Properties, then check the READ ONLY box. That locked the file for editing so BF2 couldn't change it. Then I played a few rounds and went back and unlocked it, just in case I wanted to change something in the file later.
